Vintage Art Deco Coffin Bar Tool Figural Corkscrew (winning bid, $206.10)"This is just a fun little throwback to prohibition and a delightful conversation piece. I am always on the lookout for anything cocktail or liquor related from 1920-1933."

11 Old Bamboo Crystal Liquor Cocktail Glasses (winning bid, $5.50) "I'm interested any time a beautiful set of vintage crystal goes up for auction. This is particularly appealing because there are only eleven glasses, so most bargain hunters won't bid on them. But, in fact, they are gorgeous. All my sets at home are for eight glasses. I figure I'll have three extras in case they break!"
